A DIABOLIcAL MURDER
Acadia Sentinel, MAY alst.

Acadia Sentinel, May 2lst.
On last Monday one of the most fiend
: lsEl murders was committed in our town
that has ever blackened the records nj
crime.
At about eleven O'Clock, 4. NJ, upon
the principle business thoroughfare
JOS. Collins, colored. deliberately shot
and killed Adrien Chairman, a peace
able and industrious colored resident
of this town. The cause which brought
on this unfortunate murder seems to
have been dispute, the day before,
over game OF cards. Early Monday
morning, Collins, who lived a short dis
lance in the country, came to town and
purchased a quantity Of buckshot and
returned to his home. 1t subsequently
transpired that on his way home he
informed u colored woman of his in
tention to kill chatham. The woman,
| thinking that he was testing, thought
no more of the matter. The human
| fiend then went home, loaded his shot
gun, and Immediately returned to town.
where he found chatham busy with his
dray. He thereupon Informed Chat
man OF his intention to kill him and re-
Quested the crowd of several specta-
tors to give way. Needless of the re-
monstrances OF bis helpless victim and
OF the persons near, he deliberately
raised his gun and fired, the shot taking
effect in the lower part OF the neck
above the shoulder killing chatham in
stantly. The fend then proceeded
across the railroad evidently for the
purpose OF reaching the woods, at the
same time keeping the crowd at bay
with an old duck gun charged with
buckshot.
BY this time many Of our citizens ap-
peared and joined the officers in the
chase, but none being sufficiently
armed little could be cone until our
scene with IA Winchester rifle. The
murderer then delivered hinself up tn
the authorities.
Popular sentiment was wrought up to
quite a high state and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the authorities
could prevent his being lynched He
was taken to Lafayette for safe keep
ing. This deed is one OF the most dis
graceful that has ever occurred, and
we sincerely hope that the authorities
will mete out justice to the offender
and put stop to the carnival OF crime
that seems to be rampant throughout
the country. This is the legitimate
outcome of the manner in which the
law has been winked, at and even ignor-
ed, in many instances, for the last few
years. 1t is high time that the people !
of this country were awaking to this |
fact and putting down sueh acts of
awlessness.
The day of the revolver and shotgun
should be over, and our people should |
zee to it that the law is enforced in it's
majesty against offenders. It is only
~ doing this that we can ever hope to
zee our country prosper as it should.

Where is that proclamation for spe-
cial election? 1t has not been pub
lisned i'll any paper in this district. To
publish the ridiculous thing here now,
wnuld be to keep it too long under the
comment and ridicule of the people.
Will the police juries OF this parish and
Acadia obey the instructions" of the
Governor, and make themselves ridi-
culous too, by assuming to act upon a
law repealed five years ago? We
think not.

The Arizona Copper Co. has been running but one furnace the past week owing to scarcity of coke, the non-arrival of which is said to be attributable to the re- cent strike of switchmen at Calves ton. 4 quantity of the fuel is now on the road, however, and is expected daily at Lordsburg The necessary shutting down of one furnace has proved rather un- fortunate in view of the prevailing high price of copper, but it is the intention of the management to blow in an extra furnace as soon as the coke arrives, which will serve to make up, if not to in crease. the general average The company is making every effort to take full advantage of the present market, and Superintendent Col quehoun is now having pressed into bricks a large quantity of furnace dust, carrying about 15 per cent of copper, which will be run through the furnaces as fast as they become sufficiently hard. Two men are capable of turning put about 1000 bricks weekly, or between 30 and g tons.

The western settlers Chosen spe

With every advance of emigration into the far West, new demand is created for Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. Newly peopled regions are tre- quently less salubrious than older settled localities, on account of the miasma which rises from recently cleared land, particularly along the banks of rivers that are subject 10 treshets. The agricultural or mining emigrant soon learns. when he does not already know, that the Bitters afford the only sure protection against malaria, and those disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, to which climate changes, exposure, and un- accustomed or unhealthy water or diet subject him. Consequently, he places an estimate upon this great household specific and preventive commensurate with it's intrinsic mer- its, and is careful to keep on hand restorative and promoter of health so implicitly to be relied upon in time of need.
